Chapter 10- Stuck in the Middle
She snuggled closer to him, her arms wrapped around his waist. She needed to be hugged or comforted and he was exactly what she needed. She felt him kiss her forehead and she closed he eyes to inhale his scent. He'd always smelt like spring to her.
"Honey, are you alright?" he asked. She groaned. He chuckled into her hair. She was beginning to adore his laugh and how much joy it brought her.
"Leo has decided to spend two weeks with his dad. I didn't even get to see him before they rushed off to do only Merlin knows what! It's been a whole week and he hasn't Owled me yet." Lily complained. She didn't like the idea of Leo being with Scorpius and his family. It still boiled her blood when she thought of the four of them together like some twisted happy family.
"It's normal for Leo to want to spend time with his dad. He a boy and there is only so much you could teach him. He's going to get curious about things that you can't relate with. Like trying to ask out a girl for instance."
Lily sat up and stared into her boyfriend's brown eyes. "I'm a girl Evan. Who better to help him with girls than me?"
"Uh Lily, you're his mom. He's not going to go to his mom for girl advice." Evan laughed when Lily groaned. Merlin he was right. She wasn't too pleased about Leo growing up. Part of her still wished he was her little boy.
"Don't worry Lils, you still have me." He whispered in her ear. She smirked before kissing him. He smiled on her lips. Yes, she still had him.

Scorpius rocked the little girl in his arms to sleep. He still couldn't believe she was all his. She was so tiny and adorable. She had his wife's hair and nose. Her eyes were blue and Scorpius couldn't stop staring at her. She was amazing. Alicia brought her hand to her mouth and began sucking on her small little hand. He smiled, only a month old and she had him wrapped around her finger.
He placed her in her crib. Life was going great for him. He had his wife, his daughter and his son was there for two weeks of his summer vacation. It wasn't easy as always to convince Lily. He sighed. Nothing would be easy with Lily when it came to their son. He knew it must hurt to not have him around but Scorpius needed to know his son. He'd missed out on so much.
He took another look at his little girl. He'd hoped no boy would ever break her heart the way he broke Lily's.Lily. Merlin knew he still held a special place for her in his heart. How could he not? She was special. She made him feel things he didn't knew existed.

She flipped another page in that stupid Muggle's Studies book. He didn't like the subject and it didn't have anything to do with his family's notorious history for not liking Muggles but rather the amount of attention it was receiving from her. She hadn't looked up from the book since they'd met up a few minutes ago.
He didn't know what was happening to him or what it was he was feeling but his eyes couldn't stop staring at her. He knew her and that's why it confused him. He only felt this sort of attraction when he saw a gorgeous witch at school or on a Hogsmeade trip nevertheless the feeling would disappear the moment he got to know the girl better. Always something about them that turned him off completely but here she sat giving him those urges to snog her senseless. He knew the feeling wouldn't disappear because he knew her.
She tucked her red hair behind her ears. It was something she did every day along with biting on her bottom lip when she was nervous or biting on her tongue a little when she couldn't lose her temper. He also knew her red hair wasn't a Weasley trade-mark like her cousins Rose because her hair was a little lighter much like her namesake Lily Evans-Potter. He knew that she had dimples; which is something most people over-looked as well as the tattoo she had behind her ear that she'd gotten over the summer at some Muggle Tattoo Parlor.
He wanted the need to kiss her to just disappear. Merlin, he shouldn't have seen her hex Ethan Watkins in the hallway last week. Ever since that day he's been completely absorbed into her beauty. She was beautiful. She was exceptionally gorgeous. He couldn't stop thinking about how angry and passionate she was after she'd hexed him. Scorpius smirked. Serves him right for trying to ask her out, she was beyond his reach.
She flipped the page again and he had to restrain himself from groaning. Why couldn't she move her eyes up from that book? Her eyes. Yes, he knew about those breath-taking brown eyes. He knew how they shone a little brighter in the sunlight and how they would turn a little cloudy near the fire. He knew how they sparkled in the snow and glistened in the rain. He knew how they gave away her every emotion. He loved her eyes.
She picked up her wand and muttered a spell. A few pieces of parchment came out of her bag and he realized that she'd used the 'Accio' spell. He knew it was a spell she'd know from her first year. Her Aunt Hermione had taught it to her. She was an amazing witch and that's how he knew that she didn't need to study and that they never really used their study get together in the library to actually study.
He growled and grabbed her book away from her. Merlin he couldn't take another moment with her staring at that book. He needed to see her eyes. He needed to see her.
"What the bloody hell Scor?" she exclaimed. She was a little angry but not angry enough to hex him like Ethan Watkins. He loved those eyes. He loved those beautiful pink lips. He loved the way they were pouted in frustration. His hands wrapped around her waist and his lips crushed down on hers.
The moment their lips touched he felt his stomach twirl in excitement. Her lips were soft. He caressed her lips his mind racing with emotions. He felt her respond and he relaxed. She wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. They could hear the gasps and murmurs around them but he didn't care. He had to enjoy the way she making him feel. He'd never felt that way before.

Scorpius still couldn't figure out what that feeling was after all these years. He'd thought it was love but he didn't feel the same with Kate. He loved his wife so love couldn't be what he felt that day. He'd never felt it with anyone else but Lily.
He shook his head laughing. He thought, 'Even after all these years she still invades my mind.'
"What's funny dad?" Scorpius' head shot up to see his son. The twelve-year old walked towards him and stared at the baby in the crib. The past week had taught him that Leo was still uncomfortable with the idea of not being an only child.
"You'll get used to it. Well it's what I've been told. I've been an only child all my life." He ruffled Leo's hair. He liked having his son around. He got to know him better beyond Lily's protection or letters he'd written to him.
"She's not that bad I guess." He shrugged.
Scorpius laughed, "Something on your mind?" Leo frowned. Scorpius stopped laughing because he knew something was wrong.
"What's wrong Leo?"
Leo sighed, "I don't want to meet mom's boyfriend. I don't know what I'll do if mom started to have more kids with him or marry him. All of this is becoming too much. Meeting you, mom's family, your family, your wife, Alicia and now mom's boyfriend is making me feel like I'm stuck between two happy families. I feel stuck right in the middle of everything." Leo choked. Scorpius knew he wouldn't cry. He was too much of a Malfoy to cry.
"You're not in the middle Leo. You are in both pictures. You are important to your mother and I and we love you. We may argue and fight a lot but it's only because we love you so much. Sometimes your mother and I have different views on things but we will not stop caring for you."
Scorpius sighed before nudging the boy, "Come on. Let me make you something to eat." Leo nodded before walking out the room with Scorpius.
Later that night Scorpius wrote a letter to Lily:
Dear Lily Potter,
Do not fret even though I know you still are going to. Leo is fine. Well he's sort of fine. Ok, he's the reason I'm writing this letter to you.
He's been a little nervous about meeting your boyfriend. He feels like he's "stuck between two happy families". I know it's none of my business but Leo is important to me so I wanted to make a suggestion.
Granted I don't have any interest in your personal life but I felt like it would be comforting to Leo if I accompanied him when he goes to meet your boyfriend. I think it would be best if my wife, Kate came along for moral support for Leo of course.
Please reply. I'd like to know details of where to meet if you agree to this proposal.
Sincerely,
Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy
He awoke the next morning to see his owl holding a letter. He picked it up and fed his owl. He sighed before reading the letter. It read:
Dear Scorpius Malfoy, (Merlin why did you have to be so formal in your letter?)
Obviously I'm not too pleased with you and your wife "babysitting" my boyfriend and me while he gets to know my son. I'm not too please either that you have to accompany Leo in this meeting when I didn't accompany him when he met your wife and daughter. (How is the little girl by the way?)
Anyways, I will agree to your proposal as I feel we should become more mature about this situation. Leo is our son and I'm sure neither one of us wants him to feel like he's "stuck between two happy families."
I think the park at 1:00 next week Tuesday should be fine. Thank you for Owling me Scorpius.
Sincerely,
Lily Luna Potter (Since we're being formal)
He laughed at her letter. It wasn't like the others he'd received from her. This letter reminded him of the old Lily. The Lily he knew and fell in love with. He groaned. Not again. He couldn't think about her again. He had a wife. Yes he had a wife, a beautiful daughter and an amazing son and Lily was happy. He couldn't have asked for more.
Ok so Scorpius is still happy but fear not his comeuppance begins in the next chapter! Sorry I took so long with this chapter. I will make it up by posting another chapter later today (because it's after 12 a.m. in my country). Thank you for your support and go read "The Slytherin Princess" It's a one-shot I wrote when I had writer's block for this chapter. It's a good story and it gave me ideas to another Lily and Scorpius fan fiction. Don't worry I won't write it until this story is completed! Keep reading!
